The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra | REACTION 

Most people don't realize what they have just seen. A Japanese conductor leading the Danish National Symphony italian (roman) composer: Ennio Morricone R.I.P. in playing music from an Italian movie filmed in Spain financed by Germans and starring three Americans. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Italian: Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, literally "The good, the ugly, the bad") is a 1966 Italian epic spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood as "the Good", Lee Van Cleef as "the Bad", and Eli Wallach as "the Ugly"

We have two geniuses here: Sergio Leone who directed the movie THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY and Ennio Morricone who wrote the soundtrack. Two geniuses we Italians are proud of. Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece ❤

This song was released as a single in 1966 . I was a 9 year old black child in the south & thought it was one of the most amazing things I`d ever heard. My parents bought it for me & I treasured it for years. It still holds up after all this time. A brilliant composition . This performance does it justice .

No wonder us Danish people feel a little extra proud when we hear them play.

Remember this next time you're watching a movie and you hear a orchestra in the background. And do yourself a favor and watch this movie! One of the greatest westerns ever made!

Thats how it was done back then. No electronic effects. Thats real musicians. True talent and yes it was a genius peice

you're not trippin...the movie had a lot of hanging in it. Ennio Morricone was a musical genius. This is my absolute favorite soundtrack

Yes. Ennio Morricone, the composer who wrote this and who died just last year, is a genius. They say that the hanging man was off key, and they wanted to warn the other singers. This is why the arts need to be state supported. With operas and symphonies, there are just as many performing as there are in the audience.

Someone pointed out the "wah wah" woman had revolver earrings. Also, think of the thousands of hour of practice and training each person put into perfecting their voice or instrument, then joining together to bring this to life. Stunningly beautiful

Orchestra music is so cool. They give the music so much life. Goosebumps the entire time.

the guy hanging is a reference to the plot of the movie The Good and The Bad and The Ugly, where a guy collects his own bounty by being saved from hanging every time he's caught

Ennio Morricone is the best composer ever in my opinion. His soundtracks are out of this world. A true genius. Thanks for the reaction!

He did Dirty Harry later. This is from his spaghetti western era with Leone, third film in the series. You'd dig the whole trilogy. The great composer Ennio Morricone wrote this composition.

It's just such a privilege to witness a musical masterpiece like that. Mankind is capable of great expression and experiences through music. It's worth the effort. It's magnificent!

The composer was brilliant, and this orchestra was so spot on, the music is perfect!

I don't think that anyone would argue with "Whoever wrote this was a genius" The recently departed Ennio Morricone.

You have to watch the movie to know the significance of the hanging man. Also, the name of the soprano was in the video-Christine Nonbo Andersen. Great reaction!

How many different times did you get goose bumps listening to that??? Ennio Morricone pure genius at the very top of his game with this track. And what a brilliant performance...Thanks for turning me onto it.

A BIG thank you to you for playing this and for your reactions!!! You obviously liked what you heard and I am sure that you can open this kind of music to a lot of people!... Welcome to the family of Ennio Morricone music lovers!! I myself absolutely love this Morricone music, the amazingly talented orchestra, the awesome choir and the two opera singers... and of course the wonderful conductor, Sarah Hicks.

My now 16 year old son introduced me to this movie about 3 years ago. A friend introduced it to him. He was awestruck over the soundtrack. The soundtrack is considered one of the greatest soundtracks in movie-dom. Some refer to the soundtrack as "another character" it is so profound. Ennio Morricone did the soundtrack for many of the grand movies of that era. Since I discovered him, I often have his music playing at home. It is grand, isn't it.

Ennio Morricone wrote this music. The man is playing an oboe; they look like that (like a straw). Cracks me up how that one woman just goes: "wah wah wah."

Not only the best Western but arguably the greatest movie of all time.

The Soprano is Christine Nonbo Andersen.

"The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly", is the third and final film of a trilogy of films featuring the character, "The Man With No Name", portrayed by Clint Eastwood. This film also starred Lee Van Cleef ("The Bad") and Eli Wallach ("The Ugly"), and was released in 1966. The other two films are "A Fistful Of Dollars" (1964) and "For A Few Dollars More" (1965). In 1964, Clint Eastwood was still working on the CBS Western TV series, "Rawhide". According to an interview of Eastwood I watched here on RU-vid, he wanted to take his family on a European vacation, but he did not have enough money at the time to do so. By accepting a movie role from Italian director, Sergio Leone, to star in his low-budget Western film, "A Fistful Of Dollars", which was being filmed in Spain, he could take his family on that European vacation for free (or something close to it). Somehow, Leone found a US distributor to show the film in the US, and "A Fistful Of Dollars" became a surprise hit. In 1965, "Rawhide" was cancelled by CBS, a year after the untimely death of the show's star, Eric Fleming, while he working on a movie during the TV show's Summer hiatus. Clint Eastwood then began to focus his career as being a full-time movie actor. "For A Few Dollars More" provided him an opportunity to work that he badly needed, and that film also became a hit, and made Eastwood an International star. The Hollywood establishment had no choice but to take notice, and the rest is history.

That's not a straw. That's an oboe. A woodwind. One of my favorite insruments.

Have seen this movie many times and always loved the theme song but it’s not until I saw this video did I realize the excellence of it all. Amazing!

One of the greatest films ever made. The sound track is legendary ;)

Listen to the percussion instruments in the background and you might imagine the gait of running horses.

You MUST watch "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"! It is to Westerns what Star Wars was to Syfy!!!! An EPIC spaghetti western.

1:57 "...hey guys, I promise I'm, I'm not going to stop this over and over and over..." 😏😁 A few moments later... 🤣🤣👍

React please same orchestra - Once Upon a Time in the West, western too,from Russia with love!

This is why I want to go to a real professional symphony. The music they produce is pure. Every sound is a human or an instrument, not synthetic. Also, when you hear all those instruments playing at once, it just moves you.

In my opinion the greatest soundtrack to the greatest film in cinema history. Rip to Ennio Morricone.

Actual people... with actual talent- amazing. Nice reaction, Van. Beautiful job, Denmark music- folk. Love your take.

convinced that blonde lady is an angel

This is sooo good. Can you imagine being there in the audience with the sound coming at you from all angles and vibrating in your chest ? This instrumentation is what synthesizers were invented to IMITATE ! I once lived in Richmond in a duplex house. One afternoon I was startled to hear a lady singing clearly and loudly, I walked through the house and opened the back door ... she was in the next house over from me practicing opera ... inside ! They are trained to use their voices to maximum effect and I had never heard someone project like that before, and she was just warming up ! Those opera singers are no joke, even though I don't really like opera music. Did you notice a mic on her ? I'm sure there was one somewhere but I didn't see one. She is trained to fill a room with sound and was in the perfect position to do it. Your a lover of music, if we were there we would probably have tears streaming down our faces because great music is an emotional experience, not an ego boost. By the way, that movie, you gotta see it. Its the definitive western, you'll love it, big production values too ! I appreciate your channel, thx. God bless you.

As an old guy it's funny to hear you say "it came from a voice". Yes, a generation ago that's all we had. Lol

"Is that a clarinet with a straw?" --- Not exactly. It's called an English Horn, and it is a close relative of the oboe. They both have that reedy (kinda duck-like) sound quality that a clarinet doesn't have.

Brilliant tune from the best Western EVER!!!

"Hey Blondie!! Youuuuu know what you arrrrrre?" 😁

Great reaction - I love how excited you are watching and listening to this - truly is a masterpiece. One of my most favourite things to listen to - I have it playing regularly at full volume.

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I would have never heard or seen it.

The clarinet with a straw is an oboe which has a long reed to blow into. So many amazing instruments in an orchestra but this rendition is outstanding!

Stopping because you have to is annoying, but stopping because you are genuinely excited and want to say something is awesome.

This was sensational - thank you very much for reacting to it as I had never heard it and I feel richer for doing so.

Came across this performance 4 weeks ago and listen to it at least once a day!

one of my favorite reactions you've done....this really got you, it was awesome!

Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone .....the Greatst Movie Collaboration ever in History !

Yep... Morricone was a God of sound, for sure. Unique and unparalleled in his genius. Sadly, the day he died a great light went out.

That is a masterpiece of musical composition, and stunningly performed.

the straw-instrument is called english horn, a woodwind instrument in the deeper range of the oboe family of instruments. My personal opinion is that the english horn player shows perfect breath control and talent.. Great reaction LFR Fam

The hanging man is do to the movie, to set the mode. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (12/12) Movie CLIP - Tuco's Final Insult (1966) HD

Went to all of these movies as a kid when they came out, love the soundtracks!

You gave a beautiful reaction. To such a beautiful symphony.

TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!! OMGOODNESS!!

“Whoever wrote this is a genius.” Ladies and gentlemen, here is Italian composer Mr Ennio Morricone!

Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone were classmates, but they didn't realize it until their first time working together. Leone wrote the scripts, then Ennio composed the music, and only then did they shoot. Often the music was playing during the shoot, which is why the music and the acting harmonize so well. My favourite is "Once upon a time in America" (the 4 hour version)

As many have told you, you have to go to the symphony when COVID permits! I can give you chills and bring tears to your eyes!

The best part is that you like me, will introduce this to your grown children and grand children. Have a great and blessed 2022.

I ABSOLUTELY loved your reaction. I found this video a short while ago and am now enjoying some reactions to it. Yours was the best reaction to a video I have seen. It was infectious!

Van, dude thanks for hooking us up with such a beautiful composition and incredible performance. 🤘🏼

This is the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

LFR and orchestral music! Love it. Your reaction is priceless. Thank you for this one.

I can understand, what you are feeling! They are PERFECT!!!

Great reaction, probably the best of many I've seen for this great piece. I'd like to ask you to react to "minstrel boy", an old Irish tune about a good, faithful Irish boy who died for home that over the years has been taken up as a tune paying respect to all soldiers who gave their all for home. If you can get through the whole thing without shedding a single tear, you're a stronger man than I. Many thanks

One of my favorite from Ennio Morricone is "A man with a harmonica"..maybe you will check it out sometime 😊

This was written by ENNIO MORRICONE for a western "the good, the bad and the ugly" with Clint Eastwood and directed by Sergio Leone. Sergio Leone went also to school with Ennio Morricone when they where children in Italy in 1936 or something. So Cool

this music is NOT perfect for a FILM , this MUSIC IS a FILM - you are right when you said who made this is a genius - your reaction gives justice to this masterpiece -thankyou !

The world falls into two categories. there are those who have seen "The good the bad and the ugly" and the rest. Those must dig it............

Time to watch that movie..

I´m enjoying the way you enjoy this masterpiece of music composed and written by genius Ennio Morricone, thank you for this reaction😃

Look at the "wha wha" girls earrings. Dedication!

This is why the voice is called an instrument. 😊😘

Obviously this is not the same orchestra when the movie was made, so just knowing that is even more amazing.

I really appreciate your reaction to this. So pure and beautiful ❤️ Please continue to listen to stuff like this! The Danish National Orchestra does a lot of great concerts here, and regularly interprets iconic movie, and videogame scores like these. I've been to a couple of their concerts. It's an awesome experience!

6:15 That lady has an amazing voice! The lady at the beginning who also does the whistling is incredibly talented as well. A group of dedicated, talented people creating something that truly is nothing short of a Blessing of God! As you put it, 'ridiculously beautiful!'.

May I give you a piece of advice, for which you can thank me later, ''WATCH THE MOVIE!'' It's the greatest western film ever made!

I’ve watched lots of reactions to these 2 pieces of music and without fail, every single one of them stop and concentrate when Ecstasy of Gold starts. It’s the greatest piece of music ever written for a movie bar none. Peerless.

That was cool I've loved that since I saw the movie back in the 60s.

What surprises me most, about this and other similar reactions, is that there are so many people who do not know the work of the brilliant Ennio Morricone.

Watch the movie. Do it. Second theme is now in Modelo beer commercial.

James Hetfeld from Metallica is a big Western fan, and if you ever go to a Metallica Concert this song is playing, when Metallica is about to enter the scene.

Yes, it's a phenomenal piece... I don't mind one iota that you're blown out and have to say so... I enjoy it...because it let's me know and feel close when we share the same exstatic joy for much the same reasons. Keep on Keep'n On Van...

I get chills every time I listen to this. This movie is absolutely phenomenal. Great reaction to this masterpiece of music. I’m glad I stop by to check out your vid.

The second part, Ecstasy of Gold, is played as the walk on music at every Metallica live show and has been since the eighties. A good one to see would be Enter Sandman live in Moscow 1991, if you haven’t already seen it.

You should also react to this orchestra playing “Once Upon A Time In The West”. It is a recording from the same concert. And you will hear many other special instruments.

This is what perfection look's and sounds like. 'nuff said!!

I am just amazed. I had no idea this existed. One of my all time favorite movies, iconic theme music and to see it performed live, you could knock me over with a feather.

Check out the live orchestral soundtrack from "Conan the Barbarian". Another phenomenal movie with killer sound!

Van, that was the best reactions that I have witnessed you do. You were glued to your chair, excited, overcome by the performance. I have watched you for awhile and this was the best.

It just shows you just how important the music is to a film, and the incredible amount of work by the composer and musicians. The film is nothing without the music.

Your reaction to this priceless piece of musical history is the most genuine I’ve seen! This music is astounding and the way it was performed was, well, nothing short of extraordinary! It’s plain to see that you were deeply moved by the Spirit too. Nice. Thanks!

You should watch the actual specific scene in the movie related to this genius piece of music in, the Good, the bad and the ugly In fact watch the whole film... Again genius film 😎

The same orchestra does fist full of dollars which is part of the same trilogy. Check it out brah

You have excellent taste, my man! THE best movie soundtrack in the history of movies, period. I still remember hearing it when I was really small in the 1960s, and still get goosebumps hearing it.

Absolutely beautiful isn’t it, especially when you get to see how the song is made!❤ Such an iconic song and movie and Clint Eastwood too!❤

Your reaction is exactly what I would expect. You are correct this is a phenomenal performance. Tuva Semmingsen got the nickname the waa waa lady after this performance. She doesn't mind being remembered that way. The soprano blond appearing in the audience was done purposely to make the audience feel as though they were part of the show. This masterpiece was composed by Ennio Morricone, and while he did other movie scores, This IMO was his best work.

The main theme is called ecstasy of gold Metallica does a great version with an orchestra

And this Is why Ennio Morricone Is one of the finest film score composers... Search for more masterpieces from this maestro.

This is Ennio Morricone, and if his music sounds familiar.... consider this (according to Wikipedia): Studio albums = 14 Live albums = 11 Compilation albums = 116 Video albums = 4 Singles = 61 Soundtrack albums = 520 Tribute albums = 18
